PROMI SES

 Dear Friends,

God’s promises to us are given throughout Scripture, inviting us to believe more deeply in who he is. His
promises come from his character; he is loving, good, holy, never-changing, and so much more. He always
fulfills his promises to us, never once denying these promises for those who believe in Jesus.

These promises are rooted in the character of God and fulfilled in the person of Jesus. The second person of
the Trinity is the one who fulfills every one of God’s promises to us. These promises are rich and true because
of Jesus. And we cannot forget about the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, who is promised to those
who believe in Jesus and who holds us near to the heart of God the Father.

In this study, we will spend time in the Bible, looking at a few of the many promises God has for us. Through his
Word, we pray each of you will grow deeper in understanding and believing these promises of God. We pray
you will see how Jesus fulfills each promise and believe he will never fail you. Our prayer is also that you will
grow in this community of women that is your Anchor group, and you will share with one another your stories
and struggles, your hopes, and your confidence in Jesus. We pray, by the power of the Holy Spirit, that each of
you will be transformed to be more like Christ, that you might live and love others so they might know Jesus.

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us
by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that
through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused
by evil desire. 2 Peter 1:3–4

Lord, we come to you as your daughters, kneeling

this very moment, cloaking us in your hand as we
open your Word. Our ears want to hear your voice,
our minds want to search the incomprehensible,
and our hearts want to be ignited by your divine
fire, for we are nothing and can do nothing without
you. God Almighty, tell us of your mighty love that
came to save us, and teach us how to follow in the
same footsteps. Our lives are in your very hands,
so use us to magnify your Son! Build our arms up
to carry that cross, shape our hearts to never stop
thirsting for you, and overwhelm our souls with
your Spirit. Lord, take us under your wing as we lay

Holy God, we praise you because you are God in three
persons. Your existence as God the Father, God the
Son, and God the Holy Spirit is both miraculous and
mysterious. Your Holy Spirit is completely perfect and
holy, yet you enable the person of the Holy Spirit to
completely indwell in us imperfect humans through
the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. This
great tension exists in us as we seek to understand who
the person of the Holy Spirit is and at the same time

means, people, and things to satisfy our inner needs. As

Heavenly Father, we come to you desiring your wisdom,
yet we confess that much of the time we settle for earthly
advice. As we walk through our days, we are bombarded
with questions that need answers and are confronted
with situations that require a decision or response. So
often we find ourselves saying, “Someone, anyone, just
tell me what I’m supposed to do!” God, help us not to
be content with anything less than your perfect wisdom
for our lives. As we turn to your Word, Father, we pray
your Holy Spirit would open our hearts and minds to the
truth—that you alone are the source of all wisdom, and
more than that, you desire to share your wisdom with
us out of your deep love for us. We pray that you would
guide us into a new understanding of your wisdom, the
gift it is to us, and the peace that comes from trusting it.
